Default Block of the month in turquoise and off white

I bought the backing for this quilt before I determined how I would arrange my block of the month blocks.
I underestimated what I needed and had to piece the back.
It turned out to be a good mistake as the quilt is now reversible.

I love how you made the squares look tilted, that is so neat, can you tell me how you did that? And the pieced back is great! Good job.

Google Twist and Turn quilt patterns and you should find the information you seek.

Love the twist and turn "wrinkle" for your blocks. It turned a quilt that might have looked like a fairly ordinary sampler into something extraordinary! Great work.
